My boys love to stop off at tinkers on the way to the Central coast, but if we were locals, we would eat their weekly. It’s fantastic.

We went with friends and ate on the patio out front. The food was delicious, although a bit pricey, but we expected that given the location. I had the sourdough bacon cheese burger. Excellent.Being that my own last name is Tinker, I mentioned it to the staff. I learned that Tinker is actually the owner's nickname. He learned that we were there and came out to visit. Very nice gentleman. He gifted me a Tinker Burger hat during his visit.We enjoyed the place very much!

This used to be our go to burger joint. Not anymore. We went there recently and had a burger that was mediocre at best. No seasoning on the meat, the bun was soggy and the fries were cold. We decided to give them a second chance and had the same experience. Also way over priced!! Nearly $50 for me and my wife!

Stopped here on our way home yesterday kids loved the burgers as did the wife and I. They had regular cheeseburgers I had a double with grilled onion and jalapeños. Curly fries we could have done without but onion rings where good. Definitely adding this one to the list of good food spots.

Super yum. Cool place. Great stop on a road trip. I don't know why I must meet an 85 character minimum.
Absolutely delicious cheeseburger and fries. Cute and classic old burger shop from the 60s or maybe older? They had historical photos on the wall - was nice to see their history. Easy street parking and simple to get to just off the 101 highway. I loved my curly fries. Cooked perfectly. Fair prices. Nice service. Not sure how clean the bathroom is but they had one I didn't use. Indoor and outdoor seating but not a ton of space. I'll definitely come back.

Great place to grab a burger. Menu has grown over the year's. Still a good place to come in for lunch and grab food before going to the beach.

The food was okay not great but not bad. I understand being in a middle of nowhere why it has high reviews. Set your expectations low as it's just a okay. Service was good, people were nice, small sitting area outside and inside, limited parking. Side note they go heavy on the Mayo.

The burgers were great - and tons of options. Solid ratio of meat to bun. Came out piping hot. Service was pleasant. Milkshake slapped. Not cheap but nothing in Santa Barbara is. Great spot for a quick burger fix before hitting the road.
